"I have several of my 4- and 5-year-olds using the Doctor Mozart Book. They are enjoying it immensely." D.L., AB.
"Our Kindergarten and 1st graders especially love this book. I'm really impressed with how much they enjoy doing their theory work. If anything is going to get done during the week, it is their pages in Doctor Mozart." L.H., LA
